oh I remember....I had a dream last night (more like a nightmare )

I was on my way to my fill appt and for some odd reason I had to pick up Robin. Ok so I get to Robin not sure where that was and we head to Dr P's. She's riding in my car. This part is a little sketchy but she make me late because everywhere I try to park she says no not here. Anyway we finally park and go in and she tells me I have to weigh in and gets a scale. I weigh in and I'm 187 and I go off because there is no way I could be that and I demand that she find me a scale that works. So she leaves and and comes back to tell me that the scale is being used and I have to wait. This goes on and on, all the while I'm getting later and later for my appt. Next thing I know the alarm is going off and it's time to get up........WTF?? Is that wild or what? Robin was purposely making me late so I couldn't get my fill.

Hey John You don;t have to pay the hospital stay fee if you are there less than 48 hrs....they call it observation. I know since I've been in with my heart issues. Just have them write that on the paperwork.

We'll I won;t say good luck to you 2 but I'm really excited. It will be nice to hear the stories of the sleeve.

allright MO, Ash, Candra & Tam I'll see you tomorrow at group. BY the time I get off work and get there it will be close to 6 but I'm gonna try to get there earlier.

Riley, glad you had fun skiing and with your new beau. We miss your wisdom so don;t be a stranger.

I wanted to say some thing else but I am suffering from CRS (can't remember s#!t)

later

Hey there everyone....so so day. I walked the bridge and went and got a pedi this morning. It's so good to get out and walk. Come on spring. I know that will be my time to get my exercise on.

John perhaps we will call up to your room and check on you.

NIki is part of the crew now so tell her if she wants to hang out we'll be down stairs.

Heather, I have the worst sweet tooth...can you save me a slice of the bf cake? This is the 1st valentines day I've had w/o sweets whoo hoo me!!

Lee, we'll be checking in on you too. Who's going with you? your son? is there someone to give us a report on you? You know how important it is that we keep up with each other.

Yea Tam you better hold off on the benifiber...I think walking and Water lots of water will get things moving.

Pat how was the movie? The previews look interesting, everybody is in that movie.

I'm here but i need to go clean the kitchen, so i'll be back.

oh, what kind of Vitamins do you all take? I got the Centrums yesterday and those things are gross to me. I can;t take that orange flavor. Can I go back to the Flinstones?

john & lee you are mighty quiet....getting excited, nervous, anxious???

MO I didn't do as good as you. I had half a fillet, half a baked potato, two spoon fulls of spinach, and one shrimp. I didn't bother with the lobster guess that can be dinner tomorrow. I'm full I feel it in my throat.

Ricotta cheese tastes like cottage doesn;t it. I use them interchangeably. The omelets sound delish

MO we are having pretty much the same meal ....My hunny is outside on the grill right now. Way to go on your exercise. I'm going to try and hit that bridge in the morning. I got a gift certificate to the nail shop so I may try to get by there tomorrow too.

My appt w/ Dr P is on the 7th so I need to loose 5 more myself.

good for you Candra....I just can't imagine cottage cheese and anything. We are not having dessert. I've got filet mignon(sp) and lobster, spinach and baked potato. I'm gonna have a little of each

Don't worry Tamra you'll get it together.

So the 17th is a Richmond group meeting we should all try to go help keep us on track. those of us close by anyway....

hey ya'll

Happy Valentines Day!!!!

So I jumped back on the horse and took my sore butt to the bridge and walked it this morning. Hippie! then I stopped at the red box and got 2 movies for us to watch in bed...that's where the outfit will come in (heels and all) since we didn't eat Breakfast.

Tamra, I think you are like me I had pretty much no restriction in the beginning well I still don't but you have to try and be strong I know it's hard. Instead of fries try having cheese sticks in your purse or some other Protein.< /p>

Yea, Heather go do a little short walk, I bet you'll feel better. but bundle up. Plus it's a beautiful day.

type at you all later.

Heather you should write a book. You can paint a story so well. I was right there with you , sitting at the table and on the walk etc. And it even gave me a chuckle...

Don't know if I can paint this story for you all but I decided I was going to go to boot camp this morning with a friend who has been going for months. Have I mentioned how un-coordinated I am? I hate those classes! So any way just imagine me running trying to keep up, with those 3lb weights in my hand. The poor lady next to me kept saying let me get out of your way. My arms feel like they are going to come right out of the socket. I tried to go do my errands after and I couldn't even hold my purse walking around wallys. This is why you have never seen me say I want to go to zumba or where ever you all go.

Candra, i bought a little tank top and some boy shorts, already have some of those hooker heels... that's what I'm cooking breakfast in (crab & shrimp omelettes) Told you I'll dress like a little person in a minute.

So anyway, I'm in for the day. I think I better go look for a heating pad or something.

Tamra, i would melt cheese on stuff like chili ;0

Hey where's everybody??? By the time I finished reading all the post you all signed off.

I had an ok day.....I did good all day until one of the Doc's came in with a bucket of Cookies and I had too many to count. ugh!! they were the small ones but still.

So tomorrow is another day. I'll start over.

I plan to walk all 3 days of my long weekend.

Pat the 20th weekend is a good one for me....

Sounds like everyone is doing good.

ok bye

Coco, I'm so happy to read that you got your color back and you're up and about.

Big Question - as many responses as possible.

Day before surgery - MoM.

1. How long did it take the stuff to "work"?

2. Did you stay home that day?

3. Could you have been at work that day?

4. Could you have been in your car driving around all afternoon?

I'm trying to figure out my work day next Tuesday. Thank you all for helping me figure this out. I need to be mobile if possible.

1- 2 hrs

2-no - I was at the beauty shop and I got on the lady's nerves cuz I had to get up every few minutes.... nuff said!

3- yes

4-no

here's my food for today...

B=atkins shake, skinny V Latte (tall)

L= 1 cup Tomato Soup w/ cheese on top

D= 2 pc cod fish

S=sf fudge pop

so not too bad... I wanted to do all Soup but I was so ready to chew when I got home dove right into the fish without thinking. Didn't have any sides tho. Starting over is no joke. I've already made a salad for tomorrow with crab on top.

I noticed that even though I was hungry I could feel my band. I just need to take it one day at a time.

Congrats Nicolie.....be sure to walk ALOT

Tamra, I'm not trying to nag either but those carbs are not your friend, take it from me. Try to stick with Protein. Yay on the treadmill!

Hope everyone had a good day. Mo where are you?

Oh this weekend is supposed to be rain free anybody up for a walk?

Just got off the elliptical 45min.

Now I'm gonna get my Soup together for lunch and a Atkins shake for b-fast. no Snacks and Water water water

Happy Tuesday everybody!

Nicolie, Positive thoughts.... smooches

Hey everybody, whew I just got home got off work at 8pm. This is after getting there at 7am that's 11 hours!! After a completely jam packed weekend. Wow Candra we did see each other 3 days in a row. It's all good though. I enjoyed it.

Nicolie, I guess by the time you read this you will be banded whoo hoo!!

Mo, I'm willing to give it a try, that means liquids tomorrow. ok. That is pretty much the pouch test. I am beyond out of control I ate a burger this evening and I feel like S#!T

Pat I'm sorry you got a ticket, that's the pits. We'll have to help you out.

I'm sorry you're bummed Maria. They keep saying things are going to get better something will turn up.

Pam glad you had fun yesterday. :cursing:

ugh, let me go I'm feeling it. ttyl

Pam do not talk yourself out of that party! Put on that red top with a tank top on underneath and maybe those jeans you had on yesterday. Have your daughter take your picture so we can see you and most of all have FUN!!!

see you later Candra.

Everybody else have a great superbowl day and not too much guac, or chips or chili or.... wine in my case.

Bye

I'm home what a great afternoon/evening. Reggie your hospitality is over the top. Thank you so much fro hosting us. Pat thanks for driving...I forgot you were less than 2 weeks out hope it wasn;t too much.

John, I came home and showed the hubby our group picture. I said this is the only guy in the group and his wife is HOTT!!

Everybody looks so good we are such a nice looking group.

Reggie, I already cooked the plantain and boy was it good. How many carbs were in that thing?

Riley, Tamra, Lee, Tina we missed you.

Morning!!! I can't believe it I woke up at 9:55 WTF?? I never sleep in. The wine didn't help....We had a terrific time last night. Candra so glad you came! As promised I'll be rolling up to Vallejo in a couple hours to hook up with you and Pat. Where are we meeting? Applebees? 2:30ish? I'm going to get myself together and swing by Marshalls 1st. Candra... I want some jeans now :thumbup: or one of those swing tops.

Anyway, text me and don't leave me.

Reggie I'm not bringing anything...don't even remember what's one the menu holla if you need anything.

See you all later.

Hey What happened? we all got kicked off. Makes me wonder whatever would we all do if this site was down or gone? Do we have any computer techs amongst us?

Ok, guess I better turn in. Nite all...

Screw it Heather...don't be bummed. You know me and my everything happens for a reason thingy. The reason for this is probably because you are supposed to be sitting by the fireplace cuddling with your honey, drinking one of those fancy hot chocolates or coffee drink :sifone: As far as thin calfs....up until now I have never ever been able to by boots that fit around my calfs. But this winter I bought like 3 pair. Maybe it has to do with the elliptical. So enjoy yourself and the mountains, I'm sure it's beautiful with all the snow we've gotten.

Tina that's how it is for all of them. Dr P must be real busy too. I wonder if they are going to go back to having Liz do fills? That might free them up a bit. Well I doubt if I would let Liz do my fill but some body might LOL

Lee don't give it a 2nd thought about starting a firestorm. We enjoy this kind of stuff. Even though you have not heard it I've heard Liz & Robin talk about this group and how we do what we want. Liz told me that at my case mgr appt.

Tina they must go from one extreme to the other. Nobody checks on me weekly or monthly. It will be 3 months in between my fill which I think is crazy. Even when Robing was calling right after my surgery she was so quick and off the phone I couldn't get into it.

Hang in there Pat & Tamra it's a struggle I know I was hungry where you are too. I can;t say it get better because I think Im just used to eating more than a 1/2 cup....

So I played hookie from work today...did a lot of running around TJ's, Ross, wally's. Got home just before the rain started again.

So did you see Dr OZ? recap....Carnie was an alcoholic, gained 70 lbs after her baby & RNY blah blah. Dr OZ had her "start over" 2 things I need to do 1. 10,000 steps a day & 2. basic meals. He said to pick 2 Breakfast, 2 lunch & 2 dinners and rotate those to get back on track. Maybe I should try that? If you saw it how long does this last? couple weeks? Oh Carnie has a reality show too. has anybody seen it?
